Late into the night, Daniel O'Donnell was walking around, toting his pickax and donning his ceremonial robe, as he always did when performing a kill.
Little did he know, however, that it was not him to be doing the killing tonight.
The dark character silently slit Daniel's throat, and pushed him over the balcony rail.
He landed on the floor below, blood splashing everywhere. It was a short while before he bled out, and the sword killer's work was done.

Later, Raleigh Clifton was taking nightly stroll, and came upon Daniel's body.
"Serves him right, the murderer", mumbled Raleigh, noting the pickax next to the corpse.
*Click*.
BOOM!

Before the guests woke up, Penelope and Fiona came upon the grotesque sight. They quickly cleaned up the mess, before it scared any guests.
The Baron addressed the villagers once again.
"Last night, we had two deaths. Fortunately, someone had killed Daniel O'Donnell, who was the pickax killer who took our beloved Dacius Nathans. He was a Rogue, a villain, selfish and killing for his own survival".
The crowd cheered.
"However, we also lost Raleigh Clifton, who was, sadly, a loyal Villager. He will be missed".
So, the group had lost one of their own, but another evildoer was defeated. What next?
You must wait 24 hours before voting.
Rules:
This game will follow the basic conventions of a Mafia Game. Each "day", you will be given 3 real days in which to vote for someone to kill. To convict, the player with the most votes will be lynched. If someone has been convicted, their loyalty will be revealed shortly after. After this the night phase will begin, which will last 2-3 real days. Then the cycle will repeat. Those players with night actions must send in their choices to the game moderator (me) within 24 hours, or they will not be counted.
- Voting is to be done in the day thread, and should follow the following format: Vote: Character (Player). Please note the use of bold. This is the only format that will be accepted. To unvote someone, the same applies: Unvote: Character (Player).
- A conviction is reached at the end of the day, in which the player with the most votes is lynched. If there is tie, the player who got the most votes first is lynched.
- There is a 24 hour limit at the beginning of each day. You are not allowed to vote during this time. The game moderator may or may not announce when the limit is lifted, so pay attention to when the Day thread was posted.
- You may not edit your posts. Violation may result in penalty votes and/or a mod kill. - Do not ever directly quote or claim to quote something the game moderator has sent to you via PM, whether it be your character information, night action results, or any other form of communication. Violation of this rule will result in a moderator kill. You may of course paraphrase any information you receive; if it is your own words then it is fine.
- Do not discuss game tactics or "play the game" outside the game thread, including in the General Discussion thread. You may communicate privately via PM, but this is at your own risk, and should be considered part of playing the game.
- Likewise, please avoid posting out of character (OOC) in the game thread.
- No metagaming (specifically, basing judgment on how someone played in another game. References to past games and roles, not relating to any specific player, are okay).
- Please be considerate towards the host. I will try my best to stick to the schedule, and your cooperation will help this greatly, particularly getting night actions in promptly.
- There may be certain punishments for not reaching a conviction during the day. Said punishments are final, and are to be obeyed.
- Night actions sent after 24 hours into the Night Phase will not be counted. Please send them in quickly, even if you don't plan on using your action. The sooner I get night actions, the sooner the next day can begin.
- Lastly, this is very important: Do NOT reveal any game information or even communicate with other players concerning the game at all if you are dead.Yes, this includes speaking to other dead players about the game. If you're dead, then you're dead, so act like it. Absolutely nothing is allowed to be revealed until the game's conclusion is posted.
